The manual and PFC solved some issues then . Did you do any thing with diff ratios or are they ok ?

A/R I wouldn't like to guess because its not my money involved if you don't like the result . Its the same situation with RB25 Hi Flows and RB25 vs VG30 exhaust housings .

Latest info to hand , will use same cartridge as HKS version.

Cheers A .

I managed to find out the final spec of this GT3076R 52 trim turbo . It will use the same cartridge as HKS's 52 trim GT3037 and GT3037S so CHRA number 700177-5006 . It will have a port shrouded TO4E .60 A/R compressor housing and one of Garretts integral (internal) waste gate turbine (exhaust) housings .

The ask is going to be ~ 2G which while not chicken feed is not too bad considering you get the ported shroud comp housing , a propper integral waste gate turbine housing with T3 flange , and the waste gate actuator and mounting bracket . The closest thing would be a HKS GT3037 Pro S which would be considerably more expensive and only available with the 56 trim compressor wheel .

I dug up some power (potential power) figures from HKS and they quote 450PS for the GT3037S 52T . Interestingly the slightly different "S" varaint gains 10PS from its port shrouded compressor housing which is the main difference . So if PS is approximately the same as Hp then Kw potential equates to 337 . I would have thought a bit over 400 and 300 but I'm conservative .

One unknown at this stage is will this unit require a spacer plate between the std RB20/RB25 exhaust manifold so that the compressor housing clears the manifold casting . If anyone has a "real" GT3076R with the Garrett IW exhaust housing on the std exhaust manifold can they let us know if it fits with or without the spacer .

Brett at GCG expects to have these turbos here in March 07 . BTW they have available now an exhaust housing thats dimensionally the same as Nissan RB20/25 in .70 A/R for those that want a bolt on style housing for some of Garretts GT BB turbos .

Cheers all , A

How much would it be for them to convert one of these turbo's to an external wastegate housing.

Reason I'm asking is I have the HKS cast manifold and my options are to plate over the wastegate mount [block it off] or convert the turbo to external. I reckon the plate over the wastegate mount is cheaper, but then I'm not too sure what this would do to my airflow?

DP3 I'm definitely interested though, could be the exact turbo for the RB25. The numbers and specs place it somewhere between the 2835proS and the GT3076, so good performance right in the sweet spot for a road car, minimal lag, adequate top end.

The go would be to buy the turbo with the external type GT30 exhaust housing if you are already running a manifold mounted ext gate . I did ask Brett about the non gated housing option and I doubt it would be a problem for him to fit one but he's the one to ask . Bolting a plate to the manifold is not difficult to do if you go for an integral waste gate .

Integral gates are never going to be as simple as externals because of all the bits attached to the turbo make things fiddly in crowded places . I just have my doubts about getting away with externals if the cops go looking for non std bits . With a bit of effort the integral can be made to work and not look too life threatening . The trick is to make everything look as OEM as possible .

Size wise yes the GT3076R 52T fits just over half way between the GT2835 Pro S and the GT3076R/GT3037S 56 trim . A bit more turbine flow than the first and a bit less compressor load than the second . It certainly has the makings for a good 2L four or 2.5+ L six , IMO anyway .

Cheers A .

Rather not do that, just a plate and gasket would do. That way I can still use the mount if I ever want to. Weld is a bit like..permanent...lol.

Plus weld on cast would be more prone to cracking with use. You'd have to have the plate made out of similar material otherwise you'd have different expansion/contraction rates between the plate and the manifold. With a plate and gasket there should be sufficient 'slop' to allow for expansion/contraction.

yeah lol there is that. I'm pretty sure if i bought a nice new turbo i wouldn't really want to start welding shit on it straight away!

No, I wouldn't weld/plate the turbo. I intend to plate the manifold!! The turbo will be untouched.

yeah i know. I was saying that regarding my suggestion before...

Edit: wait i think u may have mistaken what i was saying, i wasn't saying to weld up the External wastegate port on the manifold, i was talking about welding the internal wastegate on the turbo...

should be easy enough to get and external gate housing but what we really want is someone to buy and internal gate version and give us the good oil on outputs and response....so we can bludge off the knowledge.

One unknown at this stage is will this unit require a spacer plate betwewen the std RB20/RB25 exhaust manifold so that the compressor housing clears the manifold casting . If anyone has a "real" GT3076R with the Garrett IW exhaust housing on the std exhaust manifold can they let us know if it fits with or without the spacer .

I needed one for my real GT3076R with T3/T4 style turbine housing, which I assume the GT30-IW turbine housing would probably be based off the general style of.

I'd be very interested to hear how these go. I find it interesting that Garrett list their 52-trim GT37 as having an 82mm exducer.

That is because a "GT37" turbo is a GT37 turbine based turbo whereas a GT3076R/GT3037 is a GT30 turbine based turbo . Yes the GT37 turbos have either GT37 or GT40 series compressors ie 76.2mm or 82mm .

Try not to confuse turbine and compressor families , a "GT30" turbo does not have a GT30 compressor though a GT37 turbine based turbo can have a GT37 series compressor and is nowdays called a GT3776 . The 82mm compressor version is called a GT3782 .

If a GT30 turbine based turbo has an 82mm compressor its known as a GT3082R or a GT3040R because smaller series GT40 compressors are 82mm OD .

The one I mentioned has a GT30 turbine and the 76.2mm GT37 series compressor , Garrett call it GT3076R and HKS call it GT3037 . If they really wanted to get it right they would say 60mm 84T GT30 UHP turbine/52 trim 76.2mm BCI-18C compressor - bit of a mouthfull .

Ahh ok - I understand the turbine and compressor families, though evidently made an incorrect assumption when I was reading a compressor map that had overlays of different GT37s - I assumed that a compressor map which was titled GT37 would be for the different trim variations of the GT37 compressor wheel.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
